I’m guessing they did this because my comment didn’t have the correct positive vibes for them on their post when they’re the moderator.
It’s funny because 196 and almost all of its derivatives are rightfully anti-tankie because tankies promote centrism and conservatism directly harmful to trans and gay rights.
I don’t really know what the comment in question even means but @Draconic_NEO@pawb.social please change your community icon to something with a non-identical font/brand styling unless you intend to share leadership and moderation with !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone. Thank you.
Edit: Sorry if this came off as aggressive, I’m not going to die on this hill. It’s a lovely icon it’s just giving the weird vibe that these are associated communities which is worse for both brands if they are not. :)
The icon was made by the same artist who designed the one from the other community, and unless someone designs something better or similarly high quality, it won’t be changed. I do intend to invite more moderators in the future but have not gotten around to it yet. If anyone from that community would like to help moderate this one I’d be happy to add them though.
Thanks for your response. I don’t like that it’s so similar because it gives the impression that they are sister communities. That illusion is less of a deceit if there actually is collaboration between communities, so I certainly encourage you to reach out to mods of the blahaj community to get those interested on board.
I have just opened mod applications on the community, mods from there are encouraged to join and will even get priority over other users who apply.
Lovely! I personally think that’s awesome. :)
(Apologies again if my first message came off harsh, I should have been more careful with my tone! I just want what’s best for both communities and part of that certainly lies in the branding associations that may or may not reflect reality.)
